Indoor track racing used to be extremely difficult 45 or so years ago. Indoor, for 1500m to 5000m is closer to a treadmill today. Let's see how this fella races, U.S. Olympic Trials.
If not now - should be soon. Of course one of the Brojos is in the conversation.
Yes if we are talking about a Male runner. He has won ever Ivy distance title. He has won the indoor 3k and 5k. Outdoor 5k and 10k. Won the regional XC title twice. Won Nuttycombe. Won the NCAA XC. He holds the Ivy record in the mile, 1500m, 3000m and 5000m. And he still has another year. I don’t think it’s even close.
Six women have made US Olympic teams from the Ivy League
Morgan Uceny (Cornell) 1x Olympics
Meredith Rainey (Harvard) 2x Olympics
Lynn Jennings (Princeton) 3x Olympics (Bronze)
Kate Grace and Katie O'Neill (Yale) 1x Olympics each
Abby D'Agostino (Dartmouth) 1x Olympics
IF you're only counting distance runners, that's an accurate list. Gabby Thomas (Harvard) made the 2021 team, and she got silver (4x1) and bronze (200m)

Gabby Thomas is very fast - on at least two occasions faster than the sound from her doorbell.

Ok, besides Shorter and Jennings who are both on the short list of greatest US distance runners ever, how about Craig Masback and Donn Cabral? Blanks has some work to do to match their career accomplishments. Not sure that Blanks has had a better NCAA career than Cabral either, but of course, the former is not done.
